Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, wants the Biden administration to reverse course and "restore" humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas war.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas led the deadliest Palestinian militant attack on Israel in history. Israel subsequently launched its heaviest-ever airstrikes on Gaza, home to more than 2 million Palestinians. Israeli officials have said that about 1,200 people in Israel were killed and some 250 hostages were taken by Hamas, according to the Associated Press.

International organizations have sounded the alarm of the worsening humanitarian situation in the region after Israel cut off Palestine's supply of water, fuel, and electricity in response to the attack.
